When are Board of Review members appointed?

Board of Review members are appointed on January 1st of every odd-numbered year. The appointment schedule is structured to ensure that there is continuity and consistent oversight concerning assessments for property taxation during the years when reassessments and property reviews take place. This timing allows newly appointed members an opportunity to learn and transition into their roles effectively during the off-peak seasons for property tax assessments, which occur primarily in the spring months.

This specific timing is essential in facilitating a staggered appointment process, ensuring that not all members are appointed at once, thus maintaining a balance of experienced and new members on the board. Having appointments aligned with odd-numbered years helps in adhering to standardized regulatory practices established for local government and assessment roles, enhancing reliability for property owners and the local community.
